Candela CO2RE vs Alma Pixel CO2: fractional resurfacing in Baku
Candela CO2RE is a well-known fractional CO₂ resurfacing platform (Light/Mid/Deep modes and CO2RE Intima for intimate rejuvenation). At Paramed we don't use CO2RE as a standalone — for fractional CO₂ resurfacing we run Alma Pixel CO2.

The comparison in brief
ParamedCandela CO2RE is a fractional CO₂ laser (10600 nm) with Light/Mid/Deep modes, handpieces for face, neck and body and a dedicated CO2RE Intima module for intimate rejuvenation. In Baku CO2RE is searched as "Candela CO2 laser", "CO2RE price", "fractional CO2 resurfacing". At Paramed we don't use CO2RE as a standalone — Alma Pixel CO2 (fractional CO₂ 10600 nm) handles these tasks. The principle is shared: fractional microcolumn vaporization of tissue, with healthy skin preserved between columns, accelerates regeneration and stimulates collagen synthesis. Contraindications apply.
What fractional CO₂ treats
Paramed- ✅ Atrophic scars (post-acne, chickenpox)
- ✅ Deep wrinkles (especially periorbital and perioral)
- ✅ Age-related loss of tone and texture
- ✅ Mature stretch marks
- ✅ Enlarged pores
- ✅ Persistent pigment on stable skin
- ✅ Podiatry (corns, warts) — separate protocol
How we pick the depth of resurfacing
ParamedAt the consultation the doctor assesses phototype, skin condition, scars and wrinkles, hygiene factors and downtime expectations. Pixel CO2 grid density and microcolumn depth are matched accordingly (from light polishing to deep resurfacing). If you've reviewed CO2RE elsewhere, share parameters/modes — helps pick comparable protocol faster.
Both are fractional CO₂
ParamedBoth systems run at the same wavelength (10600 nm) using the same principle — fractional ablation. CO2RE has fixed modes (Light/Mid/Deep) and Surgical, CoreFractional and Intima handpieces. Pixel CO2 is fractional CO₂ with flexible grid and adjustable density, plus face, neck and podiatry handpieces. Clinical outcomes are comparable with the right parameters: deep resurfacing for scars and deep wrinkles, mid for rejuvenation, light for skin preparation and post-acne.

FAQ
Paramed? Do you have Candela CO2RE? ⌄
No — we don't use a standalone Candela CO2RE platform. For fractional CO₂ resurfacing at Paramed we run Alma Pixel CO2 — fractional CO₂ 10600 nm with adjustable density and depth.
? CO2RE or Pixel CO2 — which is better? ⌄
Both platforms run at the same wavelength (10600 nm) using the same fractional ablation principle. With comparable parameters, clinical outcomes are close. Pixel CO2 is more flexible parameter-wise; CO2RE has stronger brand recognition. Pixel CO2 per-session price is typically lower.
? Do you have an equivalent of CO2RE Intima for intimate rejuvenation? ⌄
We don't have a dedicated CO2RE Intima handpiece. For intimate rejuvenation we can suggest other methods (RF microneedling, mesotherapy) — discussed at consultation.
? What's the recovery period? ⌄
Standard for any fractional CO₂: 1–3 days of pronounced swelling, 5–7 days of crusting and peeling, 10–14 days for full epidermal recovery. Redness can persist 3–6 weeks.
? How many procedures are needed? ⌄
Usually 1–3 procedures at 2–3 month intervals. For scars and deep wrinkles 2–3 is typical; for rejuvenation and light polishing 1–2 is enough.
? Is it suitable for dark skin? ⌄
For phototypes IV–VI special preparation (lightening agents before and after), gentler parameters, and higher hyperpigmentation risk apply. Specific plan at consultation.
? Can it be combined with other procedures? ⌄
Yes — fractional CO₂ pairs well with RF microneedling (Megapixel HD / Legato), mesotherapy and injectables with proper timing.
